The Mummy's first teaser trailer and poster arrives – and is now joined by the full trailer too

The first teaser trailer and one-sheet for Universal's reboot of The Mummy has landed, and it looks glossy, epic and a teeny bit scary.

In the short teaser we get a glimpse of Tom Cruise's military man saying: "I've seen her, she's real," to co-star Annabelle Wallis, before showing us the first glimpses of the ancient tomb exhumed from its desert resting place, which houses an ancient queen about to be resurrected in the present day.

If that wasn't enough to get you excited, we also now have the full two-and-a-half-minute-long trailer to chomp on too:

Kingsman: The Secret Service star Sofia Boutella will play the monster, while Russell Crowe pops up as Doctor Jekyll.

The movie is part of Universal's plans to reboot its 'monsters' franchise, which should eventually feature characters such as Van Helsing, The Wolfman, The Invisible Man and Frankenstein's monster.

Dracula has already had a refresh in the form of Luke Evans, who starred in Dracula Untold, though the 'luke'-warm critical reception has meant the studio is rather starting again with The Mummy.

Indeed, the tagline on the poster reads: "Welcome to a new world of Gods and monsters," which sets out its stall going forward.

The poster is reminiscent of some of the Prometheus artwork, rather than the desert oranges and golds that adorned the 2003 franchise art, while the teaser emphasises the horror elements, with Boutella's title character looking more than a little J-Horror.
